A scrubby area near to North Landing at Flamborough early in the day, lots of birds were full of the joys of spring! We captured this Wren and a Whitethroat. Most other birds were elusive!

Roe Deer
ALways a delight to see these, they are quite common around certain areas of East Yorkshire
Jackdaws
These were plentiful around the picnic area at Bempton. Although thought of as a raucous and scavening bunch, their beautiful eyes and grey/black " cap " makes them somewhat quite endearing!! Well in our opinion anyway!!
Puffin
We had hoped to see a lot of these cute and lovely little characters but only saw a handful (now theres a lovely thought:) :)!!) this was the only decent shot we got.
Kestrel
We were delighted to observe this brilliant Kestrel whilst on the rocks at North Landing, Flamboro' . It was hunting over the grass above the rocks, and as we were underneath an overhang, it didnt seem to notice us. It was a joy to watch as it hunted and with the light fantastic on it, these shots were possible!
Bempton Gannets
Lots of these nice birds are now there at Bempton, we were lucky to have some quite close on the cliff side

East Yorkshire Wildlife
We got a great view of this Leveret by the roadside. In the grounds of our accomodation this Mistle Thrush was nesting and very agressive it was - even terrorising a Wood Pigeon, feathers everywhere!! Also shown here are Treesparrow (again in the grounds) and a Whitethroat
Kittiwakes
One of our favourite sea birds, very pretty and very vocal! Lots now nesting at Flamborough and also a few at Bempton.
